Greek yogurt. Inhibits weight loss?

Hiya,
I read an article by a Hollywood nutritionist (Kimberly Snyder) saying that Greek yogurt inhibits weight loss because cows milk can clog up digestion and our bodies 'can't efficiently digest dairy because we stop creating adequate levels of lactase, the enzyme necessary to break down the sugars in milk, early on'.
I'm slightly confused at this as I know and live the fact that Greek yogurt is a great protein source. I rely on it quite a bit to help keep my protein levels up. I love the stuff...I eat the Fage 0% at breakfast and after dinner.
Anyone want to expand on this article as I am already having a hard time losing the last few pounds and am concerned this could be a factor to consider. I've had intolerance tests in the past and it's never highlighted dairy to be a problem.
By the way....this will annoy a few...she suggested only one meal per day should contain a protein source?!

Serious?? Youre kidding me right...hahahaha jokes on you. Get my heart rate up as a little chuckle. Serious...serious???
California has no licensure requirements for nutritionists. ANYONE can claim to have extensive knowledge in Cali and say it's little green men making you fat. A little greek yogurt, which by the way the fermentation in yogurt making breaks down lactose, does not stall weight loss. Oy vey. I wonder how much she makes a year?0 -

Ignore "Hollywood nutritionists' as they are obviously full of doggy doodoo.0

I stopped reading at "Hollywood".0

Just ignore them0

I eat greek yogurt almost daily and I have lost 86 lbs. It keeps me full and satisfied for hours.0

Gimmick, BS, nonsense ... I'm sure she'll be on an upcoming episode of Dr. Oz ...0

This alone should tell you all you need to know about this "nutritionist".
Suggest you file this article under "cobblers".0 -
Don't shoot the messenger!! I just thought I'd query this as I have heard the whole dairy thing before!
I bloody love the stuff so I'm glad it's a load of rubbish!0 -

I read it and though really...she tried to say you get it all from nuts and veg etc. I agree but she suggested 100g of nuts?! How much fat is there instead, regardless of it being 'good' fats!!0 -
Hollywood nutritionist = oxymoron.0

I doubt it's true but why don't you stop eating it for a while and see if it does anything for you. I personally hate it (I wish I liked it).0
-
Perhaps you could link the article?
it sounds like hogwash, but I'd like to see the actual article.0 -
Piffle. To both the yoghurt and protein claim. What a load of rubbish.
In my opinion, not picking on you OP.0 -
bahahaha!!! love it!!!0 -
That's BS. You will know if you can't digest dairy because you will get symptoms such as bloating, cramps, diarrhea. Some people are lactose intolerant but not everybody!0

From what you've said about the contents of this article, it sounds as though this woman (so called "nutritionist") wants to scare everyone into being vegan ...0

Just googled Kimberly Snyder and she has a web site. Part of it is her blog, which you have to register in order to read (it's free, but you have to put in an email address, probably so you can get lots of junk email).
She also promotes her Beauty Detox Green Smoothy.
That's about all I need to read…
So, keep eating your Greek Yogurt (I love mine! You can pry it from my cold dead fingers, lol) and eat your protein throughout the day

You aren't going to take away my Fage...I eat it every morning and I have lost 67 lbs. Some folks just shouldn't be in the health and nutrition industry.0

If you can tolerate dairy, I don't see a problem. Many people are lactose intolerant or (like me) have an allergy to casein or other components of milk. There's also some people that believe milk is generally not something humans are meant to consume. But again, if you don't have a problem with it and it actually helps your diet, eat as much Greek yogurt as you want.0

Bingo!From what you've said about the contents of this article, it sounds as though this woman (so called "nutritionist") wants to scare everyone into being vegan ...0 -
If you have never had a problem with lactose intolerance before, you won't have a problem with it now that you are trying to lose weight.
There is a conspiracy theory out there that milk is bad for health, but there has been no science to back up that theory (aside from allergies).0 -
No!
Just to clarify, I've eaten greek yogurt everyday for at least a year now. Have not stalled once.0 -
Idiots inhibit weight loss. Nothing else.0

You should have stopped reading as soon as you saw that.0 -

I was just about to say the thing about fermentation because, well, I'm lactose intolerant and I eat yogurt to relieve symptoms if I have milk or something! I can eat a tub of Fage with no issues. But you give me even HALF A CUP of whole milk and I will be shaking, sweating, bloating, and sitting on the thrown with the flames of Hell in my guts! It's not pretty. I accidentally ate whole milk Ricotta the other day and thought I was going to DIE. Thankfully just a bit of yogurt and within a couple of hours, I'm feeling so much better. BTW, before joining MFP, I lost 50lbs. and I enjoy my Greeky goodness almost daily. I'm on to my last 35ish pounds and I have NO intention of giving it up! NONE! I'd ignore that whack job and keep moving. More than likely if you are at the last few pounds, you just need to give it time and tweaks.0 -
